Second Chances

I will watch the sky- streetlights dimly lit

from far away I recognize- her silhouette with someone else

the temperature outside- thaws me and frees up the memory of everything so far behind

Second Chances - still waiting

Second Chance is still waiting there for me

I count down the miles- headlights hypnotize

from far away I realize- how she once believed in me

I let it slip right by

scared of facing insecurities I locked away so far inside

Second Chances - still waiting

Second Chance is still waiting there for me

I have memorized- all the things she said

and I rehearse it line by line- syllables of falling breath

the static on the line

loneliness as open as the air between the highway and the sky

Second Chances - still waiting

Second Chance is still waiting there for me
